Whoa! This is a first-to-market appearance of these next generation, skill-based competitive video gaming experiences in the Las Vegas casino market, and I can only hope that years from now this moment will be remembered as one of the key events that lead to the transformation of an entire industry.

The launch also represents a culmination of more than 2 years of incredibly hard work by many people at Gamblit, following the initial buzz and anticipation these games created after their first appearance at the 2015 Global Gaming Expo.

Initial player reception has been extremely positive, but in a sense the real work is just beginning as we still face the task of rolling out our backlog of nearly 2 dozen games in many different locations (and even on a different hardware platform) for real, large-scale market feedback. But that – as the saying goes – is a good problem to have.

In the meantime check out these hilarious, unapologetically over-the-top trailers made for the two launched games – Gamblit Poker and Cannonbeard’s Treasure – below.
